This week JP Morgan released a report detailing instances of fraudulent employee and customer actions related to the Paycheck Protection Program.

Managing PPP Loans is Easier with Digital Solutions

JP Morgan is certainly not the only financial services institution grappling with fraud, waste, and abuse issues. In a recent Financial Technology Today article industry expert, Jack Leach, shared his insights on how digital solutions make it easier for banks to manage the Paycheck Protection Program, particularly during the loan origination and forgiveness processes. Said Leach, “[m]oving toward digital processes helps to better organize, ingest, and streamline information. This doesn’t necessarily mean eliminating all traditional and manual processes, but digitization is critical as both banks and businesses work to navigate the PPP process and effectively compete in the post-COVID-19 environment.so API and integration solutions available.”

Spike in Suspected Business Loan Fraud Coincided with PPP

According to a recent investigative report by Nick Schwellenbach in Pogo, “[b]anks filed an abnormally high number of reports of suspected business loan fraud in July.” There was a 700 percent increase in reports of loan fraud reported to FinCEN during the month and it coincided with the disbursement of PPP loans and other COVID-19 related efforts.
